Where will we be rolling up next?!?

Adventures on the Book Bike is returning for another exciting round of book giveaways this fall. We’ll be out on the town Tuesday, September 22, Thursday, October 22, and Wednesday, November 11 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. We’re giving you the time, but the location is still a mystery! In the days before each outing, we’ll provide clues at the library and on Facebook letting you know how to find us. See us? Make sure to stop and say hi to get your hands on a brand new free book – and yes, including adults – the book bike is stocked with books for ages 0-100 and beyond!

Beep-beep! Make some noise at Tiny Tots!

This fall, storytime is all about speech and communication. 0-2 year olds and their caregivers will wiggle, giggle, and explore the building blocks of speech together—including gestures, imitation, and first words. Join Miss Anna at the library every other Friday at 10:00 a.m., beginning September 25. Want to try storytime at home? Pick up one of our monthly caregiver packets and follow along with our videos! Registration begins Monday, September 14.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and visited with us during Red Mill Community Day! We had so much fun enjoying the weather, handing out back scratchers, watching the prize wheel spin, and talking to all of you. It was extra-special this year because it allowed us to show a tiny slice of our gratitude for all your support during our millage renewal. We appreciate you every day!!
